Hi ,

I have a real and i want to format it :

static void Job_Num2Str(Args _args)
{
real realNum = 164740.1294567890123456777;;

info(strFmt("RealToStr %1",Num2Str(realNum,0,17,1,3)));

}

this job show :

RealToStr 164 740.13

but me i want to get 164 740.12 and keep type of variable because Num2Str convert real to string

If you want to show the number in an infolog you have to convert it to string. You can of course keep it as real in your code, but then you can't show it via infolog.

The function num2str rounds the number to the specified number of decimals where 9 seems to be the max. So 17 does't work. If you want to see .12 then you would have to use different rounding function first where you specify to always round down (.Net offers those), since normal rounding will round .129 to .13 or you truncate the number after two decimals.

You can round it to 0.02

real realNum = 164740.1294567890123456777;; realNum = round(realNum,0.02); info(strFmt("RealToStr %1",Num2Str(realNum,0,17,1,3)));
